Albanian name?

PowerlockeDurim: Please make yourself acquainted with WP:BRD: When your Bold edit here was Reverted here, your next step should be to start a Discussion in the talk page. Please also read WP:CONSENSUS and WP:EDITWAR. I have reverted back to the current consensus version and started the discussion for you.

You argue that you have added the vollständigere Bezeichnung des Königs in seiner Muttersprache. To say that (modern) Albanian was his "mother tongue" is just nonsense, since the oldest known mention of the Albanian language is from more than a millenium later. Also, the "Dardani" addition is obviously an exonym, not an endonym, and it has nothing to do with a "complete appellation". Why should people around him have called him "Bato the Dardanian" or "Bato of Dardania"? Just as the people of Miletus never would have spoken of Thales of Miletus.

Also, your mention of Vandalismus shows that you have not grasped what the term "vandalism" means in Wikipedia. Please read WP:VANDALISM, especially WP:NOTVANDALISM, before you accuse other editors. --T*U (talk) 08:07, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
